SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We supply further proofs of the spirit of the people in our reports of Municipal Elections. In Wigan, though thy: most beastly drunkenness prevailed in the quarters of the Tories, six Reformers were returned and four Tories. In Maldon, all the Reformers were re-elected. In Stockport only one of the six wards was contested by the Tories ; and one Tory, and one dou'otful, have been replaced by two good Reformers. In Cambridge there was no opposition. In Plymouth ten Liberals to four Tories have been returned, giving a majority of one on the Reform side in Council. In Exeter victory has declared in favour of the Reformers, eight out of the twelve returned being Reformers. Two-thirds of the Councillors are Reformers, and, but for the Lords' Aldermen clause, Exeter would now be wholly free from Tory domination. At pre sent parties are equally balanced. In Dartmouth the Liberals have entirely prevailed. In Totnes three Re formers have been returned to one Tory. In Warwick, Boston, and Lincoln, the Conservatives have either made no attempt, or failed. In Swansea two Tories and four Reformers have been returned. In short, with but few exceptions, the Reformers have been everywhere successful. In all the great towns they have been great gainers. In Liverpool the majority is only less than in other great towns, but the Council has still an overwhelming majority of Reformers. This is the answer to the Tory calumnies against the people of England.—Morning Chronicle. The speech of Lord Wharncliffe, the other day, at the Halifax Conservative Festival, is worthy of another passing notice. Notwithstanding all his bluster and assumed bravery, as the mouth-piece of the Tory Peers, it is clear their Lordships are by no means pleased with their prospects. The truth, like something else, which must not be named to cars polite, will out. It is apparent enough through the flimsy veil which the Noble Baron throws around the fact, that the Con servative Lords have their misgivings as to the wisdom of the course they pursued last Session. Hear Lord Wharncliffe's own words :—" We must not disguise from ourselves that the House of Lords is placed just now in the most difficult position in which any assem bly similarly constituted was ever placed." Very true : the Noble Baron is right for once. But why does lie not ask himself, who placed the House of Lords in this most singular and perilous position ? Not the people certainly. The House of Commons ? Assuredly not ; for that House is only a reflection of the people's sentiments and people's wishes. Who then ? Why, the Lords themselves. It is be cause they have deliberately and pertinaciously op posed themselves to the people's wishes, as embo died in the measures sent up to them by the Lower House, that the Peers now find themselves in that si tuation of danger to which Lord Wharncliffe so becom ingly alludes. It is the knowledge of this fact that annoys and stings them. It were a great conso l at i on to them in the hour o f th e i r adversity if they had not to reproach themselves with being the authors of their own misfortunes. But that consolation they can never enjoy —the still small voice uithin them whispers a different tale. To be sure the Tory Lords might yet extricate themselves from the perilous position in which they have placed themselves. Are we asked how could this be done ? Why, by retracting their steps. But will they do this ? Not they. Lord Wharncliffe tells us in plain terms that they mean to pursue the same course next Session as they did last. They have too much pride to confess their own error, and retrace their steps. };Lather than that they will run all hazards. Well, then, let them take their own way of it, and abide the consequences. When they have entailed complete and irretrievable ruin on themselves, they will , most pro bably, repent of their folly. That, however, is their affairs, not ours. Throughout the whole of his speech Lord Wharncliffe assumes that the parties opposed to the House of Peers are the Whigs and Republicans. The Noble Lord knows, as well as we do, thit this is a misrepresentation. There is a very large proportion of the people of England opposed to that House, as now constituted, who are neither Whin nor Republi cans. A major i ty of the people belon-gine• to no poli tical party, nor,call. themselves by any particular name. They seek to effe c t that reform in the institutions of the country wh',elt is admitted by all not personally in terested in the perpetuation of abuse, to be so urgent as to bear d'seetly on the safety of the Constitution it self. It is e. serious charge against the Administration of Lord - Melbourne, in the estimation of the Noble Baron, that it acts so little on its own views, and so much on the views and wishes of others. This is its greatest recommendation. It certainly has hitherto proved its only safeguard. Had the Ministry not listened to the popular voice, it would not have existed one short rnonth. Why are the people so much attached to the Administration of Lord Melbourne ? For no other reason than its concurrence with their views. And so long as his Lordship, instead of acting on mere party views, acts with and for the people, so long may he rely on the cordial support of the country. Let him continue to identify his Government vet more and more with the popular interests and the popular wishes, and there is p u t a power on earth —no, not all the poweis on carth combined—that can, in the slightest degree, drake the stability of that Government. The Tory Peers may conspire, and the Conservatives, in the Commons, may become as factious as they please— and the Court party may plot and intrigue as long and as much as they choose ; but it will all end in their own discomfiture and mortification. Lord Melbourne may, in such a case, smile defiance at Tory malignity and Tory machinat;.ons.—Morning Advertiser. The conduct of the present Government has for some time past been of so mixed and muddling a cha racter that many sedate and sagacious lookers-on at public affairs have been at a loss .to make out the real object of the administrative policy. A grave au thority has, however, come forward to solve this diffi culty. One of the most philosophical—in pretension at all events--among the supporters of the Govern ment has declared, with all the formalities of a ma thematical statereeent, that the object of the present Ministers is " 'to bring the House of Lords to the test of good measures." This may seem at first sight a little obse.ure, but it is made quite plain by the subse quent explanation of the philosopher who gives this announcement to the public :—" Without reform of the }louse of Lords," says he, " good legislation can not be had." " Without bringing the Lords to the test of good measures the public would not be made to feel the necessity for Peerage reform." " With out a liberal Administration the Lords would not be brought to the test of good measures." We need scarcely add that the conclusion drawn from these scientifically-stated propositions is, that the present " liberal" Administration, having brought the House of Lords to the test of good measures, has acted in a commendable manner, and is better than any other Ministry which could be formed in the present circumstances of the country. We think that any one who wishes very much to put the Ministry on good terms with the people, takes the right course, when he endeavours to give to their proceedings of the last Session, an intelligible and definite object ; for the ge neral impression undoubtedly is, that Ministers merely laboured to adapt themselves to circumstances as they arose, de die in diem, and that they did so in no very creditable or graceful fashion. We cannot, however, say that the ingenuity of the defence, above quoted, has been very happily applied. The manner is doubt less very imposing, but as it suggests the idea of a test, we apply it to the test of a little cool analysis, and the unsoundness of its matter presently appears. In the first place, it must go for nothing with all but those who are prepared to admit two assumptions, which they who have not the confidence that belongs to superior philosophy would hardly have ventured to put forth to the public in general as postulates, a proof of which would be superfluous. These assumptions are that good legislation cannot be had without a reform of the House of Lords, and that all the measures proposed by the Government to the House of Lords in the last Session were good measures. He would indeed be a valuable defender of the Ministry who could make these propo sitions be assented to by the people at large—but to take it for granted that they are assented to, is more likely to make the defence easy than succesful. Sup pose we say that a reform of th e H ouse of ords is not necessary to good legislation, and that the measures which the Lords rejected in the last Session were bad measures—and we surely have as good a right to as-' some this, as any one else has to assume the opposite —what then becomes of the scientifically-stated " ar- ' gument" which we have quoted above ? But look at this argumentative defence in another way. We have seen that it rests upon the assumption of the impossi bility of good measures while the House of Lords remains as it is, and upon the conviction in the minds of Ministers on that point. They having made up their minds that no good could be done without a reform of the House of Lords, have been employed solely in a cunning scheme for bringing the pub lic to the same conviction. Now, .if Ministers had so fully made up their minds upon this great subject so long ago as the early part of last Session, how does it happen that they as a Government shrink from the avowal of that opinion ? Has any member of the Government ventured to declare openly that the object of the Ministers, or of any one of them, is to cause to take place a Reform of the House . of Lords ? Was it to vex the Administration that Mr. O'Connell did not bring forward the motion of which he had given such long notice for a Reform of that House ? These questions must have a satisfactory answer before the scientific " argument" in defence of the Ministry can he considered satisfactory. The matter stands thus : The country complains of a Parliamentary Session in which the Ministry seemed to be constantly busy, but was in the end, a bl e t o accomp li s h h ar dl y anything ; and it complains that there is no prospect of a better result in the next Session, under the guidance of the same Ministers. Upon this, a great philosopher, who thinks proper to defend the Ministers, steps forward and says, " You are wrong—the Ministers did a great deal in the last Session. They saw that the first step towards good legislation was a Reform of the House of Lords, and to that they directed their energies. It was neces sary to bring the public to the same opinion which they entertained, and therefore they proposed good measures for the purpose of having them rejected by the unreformed House of Lords, and thus disgusting the public with that House." The philosopher being courteously listened to, the public sets about comparing his statement with the events of the session, and they find that this conviction of his Majesty's Ministers Was never mentioned by them, but, on the contrary, they very carefully avoided giving any opinion in favour of reform of the House of Lords. What sort of Minis ters are they who, during a whole session, studiously conceal the grand object of their policy ? Is this the plain and candid dealing of a " liberal" Administra tion with a reformed House of Commons ? There is yet another view presented by this defence of the Mi nistry, which it is well to contemplate for a moment. Behold a British Ministry with so many great national objects, not involving either party considerations, or " organic changes" to be attended to—behold them en deavouring to play upon the public feeling by the re coil of " good measures" wherewith they have been pleased to pelt the naughty and obtuse House of Lords ! Is not such a scheme as this more worthy of the plot-fanciers of dramas for the minor theatres, than the direct and honest course of British Ministers? Perhaps because it is so, it is the more likely to have been adopted to Lord Melbourne and his fellow-mana gers.--Morning Herald. Since M. Mendizabal has thought proper to deny that Messrs. Ricardo and M. Ardouni were autho rised by him to offer bills on Cuba as a settlement for the November dividend on Spanish stock it will be ne cessary for these gentlemen to come forward, and de fend their mercantile honour, thus assailed. Either they or M. Mendizabal have played a most shuffling trick, and the sooner they give such an explanation as will relieve them from the odium now attached to the transaction, the better we shall be pleased. Indeed, we cannot imagine that persons of their consideration would lend themselves to a speculation so totally at variance with every principle of mercantile honour. We hope that this satisfaction to public opinion may shortly be given, and that the Stock Exchange will take advantage of it, to mark the conduct of the Spa nish Minister of Finance pith some decided reproba tion.—Morning Post. When we entertained an honest conviction that the possession of pocket boroughs by Noble Lords gave them an undue preponderance in the House of Com mons, we exerted ourselves to the best of our humble ability in favour of Parliamentary Reform. The en croachments which the hereditary branch of the Legis lature had made upon the independence of the elec tive one met with our relentless and uncompromising hostility ; and, in like manner, conceiving that the Whig nobility, whose Reform Bill seems to have been only a crafty contrivance for securing their own ascen dancy in the Lower Chamber, showed by their Irish Coercion Bill that their despotic instincts were un changed, Ave turned upon them on the instant, and marked our reprobation of the more tyrannical parts of that measure in the strongest possible terms. There were, indeed, other things about their Government which savoured strongly of party avarice, and a mis chievous disposition to put everything out r! f place except themselves. Still, it did not appear to us that such suspicions, founded perhaps on what might be mere errors of judgment on their part rather than sys tematic flagitiousness, afforded at that time a sufficient ground for entirely withdrawing from them our confi dence : nor was it ere we became convinced of their deliberate and persevering determination to fling over board all our national interests and institutions, for the mere despicable purpose of courting the mob breeze, which they habitually whistle for, to keep them afloat in power, that we at length pointed our guns against their treacherous expedition, and raked them fore and aft, both in hulk and canvass, till they arc little better than a shattered and sinking wreck. The truth is, it is now but too evident that the hypocritical policy of the Whigs has all along been to work the powers of the House of Commons in such an artful and service able way, as, while substantially securing to their party all the undue influence of the old borough mongering system, without any of the advantages which it sometimes conferred on the country, shall transfer to the lower branch of the Legislature that unconstitutional supremacy over the upper one, of the supposed possession of which, in reference to the Commons (though the evils thereof were not always of a practical or dangerous kind) the Peers were summarily deprived by the passing of the Reform Act. Nor has this attempt of the Whigs to render the one House of Parliament available for their party purposes at the expense of the other failed to attract the observation of several of our able Contemporaries, indeed, it is too manifest to pass unnoticed. The whole reign of the Melbourne Ministry has been one uninterrupted effort to degrade the Peerage of Britain into a set of valets to the Commons. They have been made to wear their robes and coronets like showy li veries and armorial buttons. Bills have been sent up up to them as their " orders of the day." In short, an impudent and unconstitutional endeavour has been made to throw them into the position of mere passive attendants, whose business is to hear what their supe riors want, and to set about it without further ado. Now, we cheerfully admit that their Lordships have borne themselves under this contumelious treatment with great wisdom and forbearance. They have taken no pet at it ; and though little else has remained in their legislative province than simply to receive from the Commons a set of measures which they have been virtually defied to alter, instead of disdaining to bestow a moment's attention on matters so rudely and insult ingly flung down to them, they have postponed the mere questi on o f w h at was due to their dignity for the more urgent consideration of what was beneficial to the country, and have examined, approved, modified, or rejected such measures, according as they were fitted, or otherwise to promote the public good. But, notwithstandi ng the temper and ability with which they have performed this excellent service to the State, it is quite clear that chiefly through their own delicate abstinence as regards the exercise of an initiative power, the Government has been allowed to involve them in the partial and temporary odium of being no thing better than a negativ e agency, a gaudy and inju rious impediment in the path of useful legislation. therefore, their Lordships wish to stand right with the country, it is now high time that they should firmly assert their independent privileges, and exert their active legislatorial functions in the origination of such well considered measures of reform in the church, colonies, courts oflaw, and other departments of the public ser vice, as will not only show the nation the soundness, efficiency, and extent of the practical ameliorations which they are prepared to recommend, but will de volve upon the Commons, in their turn, the responsi- bility of approving or rejecting them. What the Lords will not do in the way of revolution they have shown with abundant explicitness. What they will do in the ' way of safe and seasonable reform remains, as far as definite measures are concerned, an important deside ratum. Concurring then, as we do, in the shrewd suggestion of a wr it er in Blackwood for this month, supported by our able and vigilant Contemporary, the Standard, we would respectfully recommend their Lordships to alter their position nett Session— to exercise a primary and positive power in legislation rather than a secondary and negative one—in other words, to send down to the Lower House of Parlia ment such Bills of their own preparation, with regard to various important questions now agitating the pub lic mind, as will at once manifest the identification of their order with the more urgent interests of the country, and minister to their Whig-Radical opponents either the wormwood of accepting these Bills, or the disgrace of factiously rejecting them. And it will be seen fr om t h e following passage in a speech of the great Lord Hardwicke in 1756, that what we have thus pressed on their Lordships' attention is only a proper resumption of those powers which have too long lain in abeyance : " The method of law making most agreeable to the na ture of our Constitution, must appear from the very words of the writs of summons to Parliament ; for the writs of summons to the members of the House of Lords arc ad consulendunt,' whereas the writs for the other House are only ad consentienduin: But this method seems now to be quite altered ; every member of the other House takes upon him to be a legislator, and almost every new law is first drawn up and passed in the other House ; so that we have little else to do, especially towards the end of the session, but to read over and consent to the new laws they have made—nay, some of them are sent up so late in the session, that we have hardly time to read them over, and consider whether we shall consent or no, which is remark ably the case with respect to the Bill now under considera tion. My Lords, by this new method of law making, the business of the two Houses seems to be so much altered, that I really think the writs of summons ought to be al tered ; those of the other House ought now to be ad con sulenduns, and those to the members of this ad consen tiendu M." To this forcible passage, so applicable to the pre sent times, we can scarcely add anything that would not injure its effect. We trust the Lcrds will ponder it well ; and, in the exercise of that courage and dis cretion which constitute the brightest quartering on their shield, will show their steady determination to leave the ad consentiendum to the lower legislative body, who seem to be restricted to it by the theory and letter of the Constitution.—Times.

THE PRINCE OF CANINO'S MEmonts.—Lueien Bonaparte, in the first volume of this great work, which has just issued from the press, presents so many important facts relative to the political history of France, that we look for ward with eagerness to the appearance of its successors ; to the speedy publication of which the unprecedented demand for, and the general favourable opinion of, the opening part, certainly gives the most cheering encouragment. SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning considerable alarm was occasioned in the family of Mr. Robert Thredder, an extensive bat manufacturer, of 26, Blackman-street, South wark, in consequence of his having committed self-destruc tion. Mr. Thedder had for some days previously exhibi ted a depression of spirits, but not of such a nature as to cause any apprehension in the minds of his family that he meditated suicide. On Friday, however, he got up at a much earlier hour than usual, and proceeded from his bed room down into the counting-house at the rear of his shop ; soon after which a heavy fall was heard, and, on some mem bers of the family going into the counting-house to see what was the matter, Mr. Thredder was discovered stretched along the floor, with his throat cut in a shockinc , manner. The policeman on duty in the street was called in imtne diately, and, as Mr. Thredder showed symptoms of life, Mr. Callaway, the surgeon, and also Mr. Odlin,g, the che mist, were sent for ; but it was found upon examination that the unfortunate man had inflicted such a dreadful wound in his throat, having severed some of the principal vessels, that medical aid was of no avail, although the wound was sewed up, and he expired at half-past eight, having committed the act at a quarter after five o'clock. No cause has as yet been assigned for Mr. Thredder hav ng committed the rash act. THE CONTINENT IN 1835.—The extreme popu larity of this work, which has just appeared, is, perhaps, the the best criterion of its merits—and these are far from few. Nothing worth seeing or learning has escaped the scrutiny of Professor Hoppus, who, though he has travelled over ground which has been trodden by previous tourists, has elucidated facts overlooked by their cursory observation, and thrown a valuable light on Continental manners. It has a well-earned claim to the public favour it enjoys. NEW PACKET STATION AN RAMSGA TE.— A letter from Calais affirms that M. Le Compte, the di rector of the French post-office, had been called away from that place rather suddenly for Paris, but that he had ex pressed himself satisfied with the trial which he had already made of the superiority of Ramsgate to Dover harbour, as a permanent station for the intercourse packets, and did not deem another experiment necessary. He would report in that sense to the post•offce authorities at Paris and London. At this time, it is said Dover-bar is very diffi cult, while the entrance to the pier at Ramsgate is with out obstruction. The match between the French and English post-office steamers for a trial of superiority in starting from Calais to Ramsgate and back, did not take place on Monday in consequence of the boisterous state of the weather, and very much to the disappointment of the amateurs. Since the last feat of Le Courrier in doing the voyage in less than six hours, some jealousy has been felt by the English Captain. It is related of Brummel that sitting one day at dinner by the side of a gentleman whose mercantile suc cess had enabled him to emerge from Philpot-lane to Gros venor-square, after the bottle had passed freely, Brummel, clapping his hand on his neighbour's shoulder, said— " Come, my Phoebus, fill." " Why the devil do you call me Phoebus ?" " Why Phoebus ?" retorted the beau. "Do you not rise in the East, and set in the West ?"

The Average Price of Brown — orslt;coVad7 Sugar, computed from the nautili made in the week ending the ht day of November, 1836, ,a 41, Oil per Hundred Weight, exclusive of the huties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the Importation thereof into Great Britain MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Ncw London Price Current of Nov. 4.) St:GAL—The importers of West India raw Sugar have sub mitted to a reduction of the former rates of Is. a Is. 6d. for the brown, and 6d. for the mid. and fine yellow descriptions, but without having occasioned any increase of business, for the Market has been in a very languid state, and the purchases chiefly confined to the grocery descriptions, and for these sorts the request has been extremely moderate ; the refiners have only in a few instances, owing to the depressed state of the refined trade, made their appearance in the Market ; Jamaica of good dry brown, and mid. grey qua lities has been sold at 625., 635. 6d. for good mid. yellow and grey, and 645. 6d. a 655. 6d. for good and fine mid, yellow -Antiguas ; a public sale of 100 hhds. Barbadoes is advertised for Tuesday; the arrivals this year have been 8,190 hhds. and 1,880 trs. and brls. less than they were in 1835, but owing to the great deficiency there has been in the deliveries this season, there being 23,000 hhds. less than in 1835, the stock rather ex ceeded that of last year. This week there have been no ar rivals ; the difference now in the " Gazette" average price is barely 4s. per cwt. This afternoon the Market for British Plantation continued in a state of great dulness, and in some instances even rather lower prices were submitted to; the sales to-day were only 300 hhds., good yellow Antiguas sold at 675., good grey 615., Tobagos low brown 60s. 6d., Jamaica good brown 61s. 6d. The quantity sold for the week amounts only to 1,600 hhds. and trs. We have still to report a dull and declining market for all descriptions of Refined goods, both the grocers and shippers having purchased with great reluctance, although the refiners have submitted to a reduction on the rates of this day week of Is. a 2s. ; small sales of double Crushed made at 425. 6d., or 83s. 6d., long price for Lumps entitled to the double bounty ; large Lumps have been sold to the home trade at 80s. a 81s., and small ones at 82s. a 83s. There are very few goods in the hands of the makers, and such is the languor that has for some time past and still prevails in this branch of trade, that some of the refiners have come to the determination to relin quish the business altogether. Bastards are not in request, and are offered at 2s. a 3s. decline ; Treacle is not cheaper, but the demand has been extremely moderate this week. A reduction of 2s. has been submitted to for the Dutch Crushed Sugar ; 40s. has been accepted for 75 hhds. This afternoon reduced prices were again submitted to for Refined goods ; small parcels of double Crushed sold at 425., or S3s. long price for fine Lumps. Dutch Crushed is offering out from Holland at 38s. MAURITIUS.—The limited demand which has existed by pri vate contract has been at a decline ; a large parcel is offering at a reduction from the highest point of the market of 65., is., good yellow at 635. a 645., but without meeting with buyers ; there have been no public sales. 4,000 bags more have been received this year than last ; of the stock now on hand, amounting to 36,000 bags, full half is held by one importer, and the remainder principally by the dealers. We are still without arrivals, and no public sale is advertised for the ensu ing week. EAST INDlA.—There are still no buyers of Siam, Manilla, or Java, and prices remain nominal ; the demand for Bengal has been to a very moderate extent at rather lower prices than those of last week, and the grocers are almost the ex clusive buyers, prices being still too high to admit of ex port orders to any extent being executed.

Pimento has been taken in limited parcels only, but at easier rates there are not sellers ; th.e pro duction of this article is calculated to exceed considcrab,ly the consumption.

Some of our Contemporaries have announced the death of Jack, the celebrated ourang-outang of the Garden of Plants ; but a recent visitor to that establishment informs us that the statement is wholly unfounded, and that Ja.lk has merely changed his domicile in the Garden. Our in formant adds, that he saw the interesting quadrumanus 'en veloped in a blouse, to preserve him from the inclemency of the weather, to which his tribe is peculiarly sensible. In consequence of the high price of coals, an at tempt is about to be made at Leicester to open a mine, which is said to exist there, and which, it is presumed, will render that neighbourhood independent of the north. At Northampton a shaft has been sulk to the depth of 215 feet, and of these 150 have presented what is called blue cluncb, which in all previous cases has been found the pre cursor of coal, and the speculators are confident of finding a good vein of coal. In London too, the old legend is re vived that, as near town as Blackheath, an excellent field of coal exists, which has not hitherto been attended to. A few days ago, at the close of a dinner given by a mantua-maker of Bordeaux to her sister awl two of ber apprentices, the whole of the party were seized with vio lent pains in the lower part of the stomach, and repeated vomiting fits. Some medical men who were iminediately called in, declared that the lady and her guests lvid swal lowed poison. The usual remedies were administer ed, and on the following morning it was discovered that the mantua maker had, in mistake, mixed some arsenic, instead of pota to-flour, with one or her sauces. The mistake proved fatal to the hostess, but her guests are in a fair way of recovery. The disappearance of the late severe frost has been as sudden and unexpected as its arrival. There was a dif ference of above twenty degrees in the general temperature of Saturday last and that of the following Wednesday. It was remarked by a magistrate at one of the police. offices, a day or two since, that on an examination of the charge books, &c., concerning the number of persons taken up for intoxication, considerably more than one-half proved to be journeymen tailors ! Thursday morning a genteel-looking youth called at house of - Selby, Esq., No. 1, Bryanstoie-square, under pretence of wishing to speak to the cook. The footman went below in order to summon her up stairs, and o n his return found that the youth had disappeared, taking riith him a blue cloth cloak lined with sable, which was hang.'ef up in the ball, and worth upwards of ten guineas. The hall in Sergeant's Inn being now devoted to public business, the Judges and Sergeants dined on Wed nesday, being the first day of Term, in the hall of Clifford's Inn, that Society having, in the most handsome manner, of fered to them the use of their hall until the new chamber% for the Judges, which are now in progress, shall be rebuilt. The collection at the doors of Winchester Cathedral last week, after a sermon preached by the Archbishop of Canterbury, on behalf of the County Hospital, amounted to the almost unexampled sum on such an occasion of seven hundred and fourteen pounds! THE GIRAFFE.—It is remarked as a singularity in the history of this interesting animal, that they have never been known to utter any audible sound, expressive of either fear,. pleasure, affection, hunger, pain, or any other feeling. It appears by the departmental Journals that Oct. weather was extremely severe last week in many parts ,°f France, and the ground was covered with snow several in ches deep. At Angers, on the 29th ult., the thermomet er at noon marked 7 deg. below Zero, Reaumur, or 16i Fah". renheit. Some days ago two young men, at Clermont Fer" raud, noted for their dissolute habits, were overheard hold ing a conversation, in which one of them appeared to be endeavouring to dissuade the other from committing suicide' He did not prevail, for the report of a pistol was irom' diately afterwards heard, and the most resolute of the tsv,e was found with parts of both his jaws and the roof of I's mouth blown away. He was carried to the Hot el Vi e th still breathing, but in a hopeless state. His co m p e l had fled, but in a few hours afterwards the police r eceive information that a similar event had taken pkce at Bugh e ‘' and on going to the spot found him totally lit:eless. M c ; ther suicide has lately occurred at Marseilles. A Jewl s o merchant had been married for several years, an :1 h au „, child two years old. The union was at first perfectly ber n ; but, from unaccountable surmises, the wife became ,i . °:" - dg, of the husband, and adopted such a line of conduct towe him that he became alarmed for his life, and sued for a e'e; paration. In the meantime he obtained a licenc e to ar:.o pistols for self-defence. The judgment of separation l'eo. pronounced, and was about to be served upon the wife , wb d she and her child were both found dead, the infatuate f woman having committed murder and suicide by mea l ' s ° the fumes of charcoal.
